Stunning third instalment in the an ember in the Ashes quartet. Tahir's writing is brilliant and the way she constructed the changes in the POV’s meant that you could not put this book down. The Roman inspiration shines through and every twist and turn leaves you breathless. The character development and plot development were truly staggering. I cannot wait to pick up the final instalment where I know I will be an emotional wreck. But what's new?! The only slight critique I would have is that I wished the battle scenes were more detailed and drawn out as that would have truly made the tension mount.
